It read: “It is with the deepest regret and our sincere apologies to patrons that due to industrial issues that Liberty Events (Leeds) Ltd hereby advise the remaining scheduled performances of the pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the White Rose Theatre, Leeds are cancelled.

“Applications for full refunds for the aforesaid performances effected and the 7pm performance of Thursday, December 29 should be addressed to our contact page.”

Scotty waded into the row on Twitter this morning

In a statement released to The Sun Online following his departure, Scotty revealed he left due to monetary issues.

He claimed the creators of the pantomime, White Rose Productions, “have continually given me false promises of payment,” and that “they had not planned any method of payment.”

Scotty also alleged the panto was a “scam”, stating: “In my view, this whole production has been a scam with no funds for wages from day one and false promises delivered from the directors about funds.”

The TV star also said in his statement that he had “no contact from the directors of the company with a promise to pay.”

“It would be inappropriate of this company to comment further at this time whilst our legal team review the statement and are in receipt of all the facts.

“In the meantime the cast and this company are committed to ensuring the show goes on.

“We take this opportunity to thank cast and crew for their continued loyalty to the production with special thanks to Mr Darrien Wright for stepping into the role left vacant by Mr Timlin with only one hours notice yesterday. A star is born they say, he delivered a superb performance received by a most appreciative audience.”
